Extrusion and machining of complex polyamide 6 profiles: a major technological breakthrough
True to its reputation as a processor of engineering polymers, PLASTIL France has reached a new milestone by announcing that it has achieved full mastery of the extrusion of polyamide 6 (PA6) profiles.
Renowned for its robustness and thermal stability, this material requires cutting-edge expertise as well as rigorous control of processing parameters. But beyond the technical aspects, this project also illustrates a genuine industrial risk-taking initiative, undertaken by our teams and made possible thanks to our client’s trust.
High value-added applications in cutting-edge industrial sectors
Today, our teams are fully demonstrating their expertise by meeting the most demanding specifications of two major industrial sectors, through comprehensive and expertly managed solutions.
In the rail sector, our design office has risen to the challenge of extruding profiles with complex geometries. This project, ambitious from the outset, required significant technical decisions and a high degree of adaptability. Beyond the initial shaping, PLASTIL’s true added value lies in its ability to carry out precision re-machining on these profiles. This finishing stage, which is particularly delicate when working with technical materials, ensures tight tolerances and optimal integration into final systems.
At the same time, we have developed insulating profiles for the electrical industry, leveraging the dielectric properties of PA6 to ensure a high level of safety and performance.
Technical mastery and expertise : our teams’ excellence in the service of innovation
This dual success—combining extrusion with secondary machining—is the result of a strong collective commitment. It illustrates PLASTIL France’s capacity to innovate and support its partners with agility and high standards, all within a framework of co-development and mutual trust.
We commend the work of the teams at our Bellegarde site, as well as all our partners, who succeeded in transforming a technical challenge into an industrial triumph.
From the client’s initial trust and material qualification to the manufacturing of tooling at the Maulévrier workshops—and through to final adjustment, quality control, and industrialization—every step relied on the commitment, expertise, and determination of everyone involved.
In short, a wonderful team success story !
